Chicago Cupcake

I wouldnt exactly call them cupcakes as much as I would cheesecakes but they are delicious nonetheless! I came for the first time today and the girl at the register was very friendly. I asked for one of each however a can’t remember what the names are of each one. I will go back, get some more, and update on the names some time soon!

Chicago Cupcakes remains to be my favorite ‘cupcakes’ in the city. To call them cupcakes can be somewhat deceiving to people as they aren’t your typical cupcake. No fluffy, airy, useless cupcakes like you’re used to. Chicago Cupcakes’ cakes have a crust bottom and are dense as they are made with cheesecake & mousse.
What makes these cupcakes so special is just that. They aren’t typical and what’s different about them makes better than any normal cupcake. The crusts make these cupcakes so delicious and fabulous. Because the cake has dairy in it, be sure not to leave these cupcakes out like you would a normie. I’ve tried about every flavor but my favorites are Cookie Dough, Red Velvet & What’s Up Peanut Butter Cup, both of which were absolutely delicious.

Chicago Cupcake was once limited to their two Big Red food trucks. But now… now they have a brick and mortar store in Wicker Park! They opened last month without much ado in the old Bar Bar Black Sheep location — a couple doors down from the boozy Taco Bell. They have many tables so you can sit anywhere you like and because I don’t think many know about the shop, they aren’t very busy yet!
I’m so happy Chicago Cupcake opened an actual store you can walk into easily and pick up some of their tasty nomz. Absolutely the best dessert treat in the city!

My first experience with Chicago Cupcake was through the Tasty Cheese food truck. I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy many of their flavors. Do I have a favorite? Tough question, since the peanut butter is no longer available.
I enjoyed my first visit to the new storefront at 1415 N Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park, which was formerly a bar. They’re offering other treats besides cupcakes and a coffee bar too, so come get your fix!

Awesome, unique cupcakes. They are almost cheesecakes and are so good. We had the red velvet and birthday cake. The birthday cake is basically funfetti cheesecake which is amazing and the red velvet was rich with great frosting. The store itself is really cute and the woman working was friendly and inviting. We’ll definitely be back!

Not the typical cupcake. It’s like half cheesecake and half cupcake. Tried the Oreo and S’mores. Very rich and decadent. I really wanted a cupcake. Was I disappointed? First bite… hmm, this isn’t that great. Wait. I need to take another bite… This is kind of good…3 rd bite… this is really f-​ing good! To top it off, the owner is super welcoming and really nice. Even if these cheesecake/​cupcake bites from heaven weren’t that great, I would support this cute warm business.
